UTN uW Translation Notes:

οἱ ἄνδρες

¬The husbands

Here Paul directly addresses the Husbands in the audience. Use a form in your language that indicates that the speaker is singling out a specific group of people as the intended audience of the following words. Alternate translation: “You husbands”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὰς γυναῖκας

your wives

Here Paul does not explicitly state that husbands must love “their own” wives. However, Paul writes this sentence in such a way that the Colossians would have understood him to mean this. The ULT includes your because this is an essential part of what Paul is saying. Use a form in your language that specifies that Paul has each husband’s wife in mind. Alternate translation: “your own wives”

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

μὴ πικραίνεσθε πρὸς

not /be_being/_embittered toward

The phrase be embittered could refer to: (1) the husband doing or saying things that cause his wife to be bitter or upset with him. Alternate translation: “do not do what makes them bitter against you” (2) the husband becoming bitter or upside with his wife for doing or saying certain things. Alternate translation: “do not become bitter against them”
